        "content": "<p>Grab Indonesia has denied rumours suggesting the company plans to\nleave the country. The firm stressed that the information being\ncirculated is untrue. \u201cGrab asserts that the rumour regarding plans to\nexit Indonesia is not true,\u201d said Neneng Goenadi, CEO of Grab Indonesia,\nin a written statement received on Thursday (4\/6\/2026). Grab confirmed\nit remains committed to conducting business and strengthening its\ncontribution in Indonesia. The company also emphasised it will continue\nto follow the direction of government policy and support the development\nof the national digital economy. According to Neneng, Indonesia is a\ncrucial ecosystem for Grab. \u201cWe have been present for Indonesia for more\nthan 10 years and we are committed to continuing to grow and take an\nactive role in supporting the lives of Indonesian people,\u201d she said.\nNeneng affirmed that Grab will continue to collaborate with the\ngovernment, partners, and all stakeholders. Previously, there was a buzz\non social media about news that the Singapore-based company was\nconsidering reducing operations or even exiting the Indonesian\nride-hailing market. This information was revealed on the Instagram\naccount <span class=\"citation\" data-cites=\"ecommurz\">@ecommurz<\/span>.\nThe rumour emerged after the company was said to be evaluating the\nfinancial impact of a planned 8% service commission for two-wheeled\ntransport services. It was stated that in internal company discussions,\nthe main focus was directed at efforts to minimise the impact of this\npolicy on the business. Several options being considered include\nimposing substantial additional fees on both consumers and partners.\nHowever, internal company projections warned that the policy could\npotentially suppress demand, considering Indonesia\u2019s increasingly\nchallenging economic conditions, a shrinking middle class, and consumer\npreference for lower prices. Furthermore, one of the final options\nreportedly under discussion was a partial reduction of operations,\nleading to the possibility of Grab exiting the ride-hailing market in\nIndonesia.<\/p>",
